Economy, People and Planet 2016 is a two day conference in which we wish to engage students and professionals alike in the dialogue of developing the solutions for a sustainable economy.

Through presentations from prominent international keynote speakers and a number of workshops we will explore the topics of biomimicry, work-life balance, sustainable urban development and basic income. Further, we will show some of the most prominent transition initiatives in Denmark – the so-called Torchbearers who are leading the way to the transition.

Omstilling Nu (Transition Now) is seeking to create a sustainable society by addressing the acute and complex challenges of today including climate change, environmental degradation, financial instability, widespread unemployment, democratic deficiencies and social divides.

Among the many activities we organise is our annual international economics conference Economy, People & Planet – a two day conference at which we aim to engage students and professionals alike in the dialogue of developing the solutions for a sustainable economy.

At the previous conferences in 2014 and 2015 we discussed the road to a new economic paradigm and explored concrete actions of the transition that are already happening in different places around the world. This year we will take it a step further and seek to get the transition into all corners of the economy, to make it relevant and achievable for everyone. As in previous years, we want to show that change is possible and that the solutions are already here – now it is time to embrace them, share them and make them ours.

We warmly invite everyone along on this exciting journey towards a sustainable society, because we believe that everyone has a role to play.

The aim of EPP2016 is to show that the transition is relevant and feasible in all sectors and levels of the economy. Everyone can contribute – no matter if you are a student, researcher, social entrepreneur, business leader, civil servant – or simply taking a break from the money-based economy.

We will show this through a number of keynote speakers and workshops revolving around the topics:

Biomimicry
Work-life Balance
Sustainable Urban Development
Basic Income

Moreover, the conference will be a showcase of some of the most prominent transition initiatives in Denmark – the so-called Torchbearers who are leading the way in the transition. Finally, we will engage the participants in a number of creative activities that will facilitate idea-generation and networking and inspire the participants to collaborate towards a transition within their own niche of the economy.

Omstilling Nu is a network and a project platform that works to create a sustainable transition of our society. We do this by organising seminars, debate cafés and international conferences as EPP2016. Read more about the organisation here.
